Would like it too be the later, but think that's wishful thinking

We should be wrapping our best central midfielder up in cotton wool after the Silva news.

Possibly...right now we wouldn't need much.

 

I still think that the game time will be good for him because he's clearly not up to speed. Was the same with Inler but due to greater depth in the squad he ended up sidelined.

Ok-ish starting line up.

 

Would like Dragovic to stand up like Iborra did last Saturday. Good oppurtunity here.

 

Iborra needs games to get up to the pace of the English game and stamp his place on the team.

 

The Nacho-Slim partnership looks good on paper and no harm to move away from the over-reliance on Vardy.

The latter seems so much better balanced. Have you applied for the manager's job?

Good thing is though the team can hopefully change into either formation during the game if need be without the need for substitutions.

Quite a few places streaming this, if you goto  reddit.com and soccerstreams you will be able to pick one up from there. Pm me if you cant find anything, nearer kick off time

Predicting Gray to play well and score and give Appleton / Puel/ Gravel Throat / Curbishley something to think about for the next game.

He probably will. Gray always shines against lower league opposition. Then he gets an opportunity to start the next PL game and ends up being a bit useless. Then gets dropped to the bench again. Rinse and repeat.

If he comes through tonight unscathed then happy days. Is it a risk worth taking :dunno:

Depends how the 4-4-2 is used with regards to the midfield pairing. Against Swansea it was a good choice having Iborra sitting back spraying passes while Ndidi got foward to give support to the attack. If we have just 2 midfielders in a single line then we will have fewer options up front which will result in difficulty playing the ball out and finding the passes in between the opposition midfield and defense. Hopefully tonight King will be given the Ndidi role of finding space further up the pitch.

We need to commit to Gray, if you go from playing Championship games to Prem games where the opposition mark tighter and are quicker in thought, of course there will be difficulties in adapting. Give him a run of 3-5 starts after tonight if he plays well to see if he can adapt. Deserves an equal amount of chances as Albrighton seems to get. (I dont count 10 minute sub apperances as a chance)

10 changes for Leeds

According to their forums, they want to concentrate on their Friday game so will be resting a few key players. All the better for us

Be interesting to see which of Nacho and Slim play up top and who drops deep. We seem to have three who like to lead the line and only Shinji who can play the support role.
